Wandering the Heavens

The setting sun was spreading freely as Xia Dong walked aimlessly on the street. After he had been away for a while, Jinling no longer looked like what he was familiar with. His master had been killed, there had been murders in the palace, and there was that mysterious master. Now even Prince Mu's Palace was implicated. He didn't know what kind of storm would happen in the end, and how many heads would fall.

Thinking of this, Xia Dong couldn't help but look up at the sky. In the originally clean sky, a pile of papers were falling like snowflakes. Xia Dong quickly grabbed one, and it was no surprise that this was the fourth story.

A coup d'état took place in the imperial city. The prince and his two good friends hurried back. Then the two good friends united their forces and defeated the various forces involved in the coup one by one in the situation of internecine killing each other, and finally sent the prince to the throne.

However, the prince who had become the emperor was jealous of the two friends who had made great contributions to his success. So he used his imperial power to marry the sister of the civil servant friend into the palace and made her the queen. He also ignored the fact that the sister of the general friend and the civil servant friend were in love and took her into the harem and made her a concubine. The general's friend's sister was in poor health, so he sent the female doctor who admired him into the palace to be a concubine so that she could take care of her sister.

This is the story of the fourth episode. Xia Dong was glad that she had taken a leave. Thinking of this, she quickly mounted her horse and left Jinling before the city gates were closed.

Xia Dong's premonition was very accurate. At this moment in the palace, watching Xie Yu being scolded by the emperor, Xia Chun felt somewhat grateful. After all, the Marquis had blocked the knife for him.

Xie Yu never expected that he would be in such an embarrassing situation from the very beginning when he took charge of Xuan Jing Division, but there was nothing he could do. Knowing the inside story, he couldn't even find a scapegoat to calm the public anger, because the leaflets would still be distributed, and soon it would be the most exciting moment.

Xiao Xuan looked at the miserable looks of Xie Yu and Xia Chun and wanted to beat them up, but this would not solve the problem.

Mei Changsu was also in a bad mood. When he read the story of the fourth issue, he felt angry and sad.

What made him angry was that this person spread the royal secrets everywhere, bringing shame to the royal family, and as a result, the Liang Kingdom would be abandoned by the people sooner or later; what made him sad was that his father worked so hard for the emperor and was loyal to Daliang, but because of his dedication, he was suspected by the emperor, and in the end, he died along with 70,000 troops and his aunt, cousin and their families.

Meng Zhi was very worried when he saw his current condition, and advised him to give up on redress and leave Jinling. Living a good life is better than anything else. However, Mei Changsu refused. He had suffered the greatest pain in the world and spent another twelve years to deduce. Now he could finally start the plan of redressing his injustice. How could he give up just like that? He wanted to see the emperor regret the mistakes he had made before he would be worthy of the title of the Young Marshal of the Red Flame Army.

So, under his planning, the land encroachment case and the Lanyuan corpse hiding case broke out at the same time. The Crown Prince and Prince Yu jumped up and down, and finally it was Prince Jing who fulfilled Mei Changsu's wish and got the job of presiding over the land encroachment case.

Mei Changsu had a good idea, but Yu Xian asked Qin Banruo not to assist him. Without Prince Yu's greeting, Prince Jing put on his arrogant face and encountered all kinds of difficulties as soon as he entered the Ministry of Justice. The trial progress was slow.

The Minister of Justice, along with the officials of the Ministry of Justice, welcomed Prince Jing with an extremely bright and fawning smile on his face. However, when the file of the land encroachment case was mentioned, he began to make excuses. In short, it was easy to get in but difficult to get things done.

Mei Changsu wanted to use this opportunity to get Cai Quan into the sight of Prince Jing, but because of the deliberate obstruction of the Minister of Justice, the two did not even meet. Not only Mei Changsu was anxious, Xiao Jingyan was also anxious, so he came to Mei Changsu to seek a solution.

"I have been bullied by a group of clowns in the Ministry of Justice these days. Is this what you expected, sir?" Xiao Jingyan complained to Mei Changsu as soon as they met.

On the surface, Prince Jing is a very pure person, for example, he is outspoken and has a strong sense of justice. In fact, he is extremely arrogant. It is right for him to use morality to demand himself, but it is too much to use morality to demand others.

His character is not a bit worse than his two brothers. While the Crown Prince and Prince Yu, who are currently gathering court officials to fight, are courteous and open-hearted to the ministers who have surrendered to them, and they try to get as much as they can from them. For example, in the case of the corpse hidden in Lan Garden, the Crown Prince was angry at the lack of fighting spirit, but he still tried to rescue Lou Zhijing; for another example, Prince Yu also did his best for the murderer son of the Minister of Personnel.

In the entire court, only you, Prince Jing, are so aloof. Wherever you go, you look up to the sky and have a cold face in front of your own father, not to mention the court officials. In his opinion, there is no good person in the entire court except me, Prince Jing, Xiao Jingyan.

With such a unique personality, it’s impossible for him to be popular.

"Since Prince Jing has decided to take this path, he can't even manage a small Ministry of Justice, so how can he fight for the throne?" Mei Changsu is also good at passing the buck.

I've given you the opportunity to train, but who can you blame if you're useless?

"Sir, are you blaming me for not being able to do things?" Xiao Jingyan felt a little unhappy when he heard Mei Changsu's words.

"How can a counselor blame his master? The prince has been leading troops in battles for many years, so it is normal that he does not understand how the affairs of the court work." Mei Changsu could only soften his tone to comfort him.

"The Duke of Qing and the Minister of Justice are both my brother Prince Yu's men, so it's normal for the Minister of Justice to protect him. However, if I, the prince, do not make any progress in trying this land encroachment case, my father will not blame the Ministry of Justice, but will only blame me, Prince Jing, for my incompetence." Xiao Jingyan didn't want to chat with him.

"Then why don't you bypass the Minister of Justice and look for a reliable person in the Ministry of Justice?" Mei Changsu handed over a note.

"This man is just a leader. Can he assist me in handling the land encroachment case?" Xiao Jingyan said doubtfully after opening the note.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Mei Changsu replied.

Xiao Jingyan got the answer he wanted and left in a hurry after a few words of greeting. As soon as he left, Mei Changsu, who had been calm and composed a moment ago, frowned deeply.

He has already persuaded Prince Yu to give up Duke Qing, but why hasn't Prince Yu given in yet?

Yu Xian had already discovered the hidden pawn that Mei Changsu had planted in Hongxiuzhao. In order not to alert the enemy, he asked Qin Banruo to create all kinds of illusions that Mei Changsu wanted to see.

What Mei Changsu didn't know was that Qin Banruo not only didn't help him this time, but also said a fact: Giving up Duke Qing was an inevitable choice, but if he wanted to cooperate with Xiao Jingyan in this matter to gain his support, it would be a big mistake. Because Prince Yu Xiao Jinghuan was a prince, and Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan was also a prince.

As long as he is a prince, he has the qualifications to fight for that position. Why did the generals under Xiao Jingyan give up Prince Jing, with whom they were with day and night, and support Prince Yu, who had never been close to them?

Prince Jing got the job of presiding over the land invasion case, which seemed to offend people, but it was also a way to build up his own reputation. Because in the court, in addition to the Xuan Jing Division that was absolutely loyal to the emperor, there were court officials who were loyal to the crown prince and Prince Yu, and there were also court officials and forces that did not belong to the Xuan Jing Division, nor did they loyal to the crown prince and Prince Yu.

Therefore, Prince Jing's goal was to declare his existence by participating in the trial of the land invasion case, so as to win the support of these court officials and forces.

Prince Yu broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. He almost ignored this arrogant brother, always thinking that he was a stubborn and stubborn person. Who knew that he actually had the ambition to participate in the fight for the throne? What made Prince Yu even more frightened was that the way he entered the scene was to step on his own power to get to the top.

The strategy Qin Prajna gave was to give up the Duke of Qing, but not to be on good terms with Prince Jing and not to sell him favors. At the same time, he should inform the Ministry of Justice to make his job go wrong, thus exposing his shortcomings in handling government affairs and relations with court officials. At the same time, in addition to the land encroachment case, he should also find other cases to handle together.

In short, it is to make Prince Jing do things he is not good at, so that he will be embarrassed and embarrassed. In this way, no matter how hard he tries, he will not be in the eyes of those court officials and forces.

After hearing Qin Banruo's analysis, Prince Yu began to doubt Mei Changsu's intentions. Qin Banruo was indeed a good teammate. She said that Mei Changsu was a man of the martial arts world and he took the court situation and the relationship between court officials for granted, so it was normal that he could not analyze Prince Jing's intentions.
